I'm a heavy user of baloo. Settings tags to files, searching via krunner / dolphin, Using tag-directory widgets on the desktop Its a great thing to have something like baloo! Thanks for this. However the index needs a cleanup functionality. Usually I delete my ~/.local/share/baloo/index every 2 month. Because baloo adds stuff to the index just fine, but don't delets them properly. I can still find the content of my ~/Downloads/linux4.8 directory that is not there anymore for.. uhm when was 4.9 released? In numbers: before ~/.local/share/baloo/index deletion balooctl status Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Idle Indexed 29582 / 29582 files Current size of index is 176,30 MiB after: Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Idle Indexed 7535 / 7535 files Current size of index is 31,14 MiB wich is near the truth find ~ /home/share/Musik -type f -not -path "*/.*" -not -path "*/Projekte/GIT/*" | wc -l 7046 --- So it would be nice if baloo could run a check if a file still is available and if not - remove it from the index
Same thing here! $ balooctl --version baloo 5.26.0 and old files don't get removed.
Can confirm on 5.26.0
I can confirm it too (5.36).
